Re: really easy one tonight

Fonts, colors etc are controlled by your stylesheet. The switches for the centerboxes are in the Admin> Configuration> Index Listings

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: really easy one tonight

this is the only coding on css stylesheet that I see for anything center:

/list box contents/
.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew {
margin: 1em 0em;
}

.centerBoxWrapper {
border: 1px solid #000000;
height: 1%;
margin: 1.1em 0;
}

h2.centerBoxHeading {
font-size: 1.3em;
color: #ffffff;
}Because this coding or process is so different then when you change the headers for sideboxes, I really could use a step by step. Or just understand that I am relatively new to this, thanks for helping me out.

Re: really easy one tonight

well in your case h2.centerBoxHeadings would be the one. What is it you would like to change about the center box headers?

Re: really easy one tonight

I'm going to give you the link to my site. Now play nice because I am working on it still and I know some things are off, I am waiting to get some missing headers from my site designer so I can add them on the sideboxes I have left. Ok now if you look at my site you will see how I have changed my sideboxes headers and I have changed the border color so that it doesn't show. I would like to do the same for the center boxes. But I plain just don't get it and for now have them not showing.

Re: really easy one tonight

hmmmmm......:huh: I don't see the sidebox heading background images called in the stylesheet like there supposed to be....it appears you hardcoded them. :down:
If you going to be following the same procedure for the center boxes then I can't help as I don't do it this way. I use the stylesheet to call the background images for the headers. Might want to learn how to use the stylesheet for what it is for.....makes it near impossible for us to answer style questions when stuff that should be in the styesheet is hardcoded in the templates.

Re: really easy one tonight

on reflection it appears I forgot about calling the background images for the headers using defines:blush: I don't do it this way so I forgot it can be done this way, I normally call those images in the stylesheet, I find working in the style sheet easier. I just clear the define for the header and call the image in the stylesheet.
My method requires adding to the stylesheet new statement to target the individual headers```
#categoriesHeading .leftBoxHeading {
background-image: url(../images/whatever.jpg);
backgound-color: #ffffff ;
}


So sorry for the tone of my last post.

Re: really easy one tonight

it's ok really it is. Everything you said just lost me lol. I am working with a custom made template that I bought to try and speed up getting my store open. Well this worked fine where I had it hosted before, but when we had to move the site I didn't like the feel of the site when my template designer did the install so I decided to see if I could make it better. Lol things were going fine til I got to the center boxes which I still might be leaving off lol. Maybe tonight when I've cleared my head some I will look again at what you said in the last post. I understand working with the stylesheet to a degree, this one just lost me. I searched for hours last night for a answer but never found one. Wish it could have been just as easy as the sideboxes.

Re: really easy one tonight

Do you have firefox? If you don't get it and make sure to have the web developer plugin. With that plugin you can look for element information, it will show you the class and ids of all the elements of the page. Then you can look in the style sheet for the matching statement, if its not there you can then add it. The web developer plugin will let you test edit the stylesheet to try things to find what works without having to edit and upload every change. You can test multiple changes and then edit the stylesheet with all the changes and upload once. Try it you'll like it.

Re: really easy one tonight

I posted this question in another section but not many people reading over there, hoping someone can help now if not it can wait til tomorrow. I tested my whole checkout process tonight to see if we would get any errors and see if there were any others section messages I missed and needed to change. Anyhow I digress. I did get a error when I added a product to the cart then I created a new account. well when I went to do the new account is when I got the error. What could be causing things? Thanks. :dontgetit

Warning: wrong parameter count for define () in/home/all1029/public_html/includes/languages english.php line 17 O

I'm sure this is a easy fix and I'm to tired to realize it

Re: really easy one tonight

first off thank you to everyone who has helped me. As of right now I have changed or fixed everything I have mentioned before. One more question though...I'm so close to being done with customizing this storem thank goodness. On my contact us page there is this:
Store Name
Address
Country
Phone

I think well I know I am overlooking something because I can not find where in the heck you edit this so it shows the information, thanks for pointing yet another thing out to me.
